Types Potions

Healing Potions: These potions gradually restore a portion of the player's health over a short duration. The amount healed increases with the potion's level and enchantment. They are commonly employed in 1v1 combat situations and PvE encounters.

Energy Potions: Immediately replenishing a portion of the player's energy, these potions also provide additional energy regeneration and reduce cooldowns for a brief period. The effectiveness of these effects scales with the potion's level and enchantment. Players wielding healing weapons frequently use them in small-scale skirmishes and arena battles.

Gigantify Potions: Temporarily boosting the player's maximum health and carrying capacity, these potions confer immunity to forced movement effects. The strength of these effects amplifies with the potion's level and enchantment. They are often employed as a defensive measure in large-scale battles.

Resistance Potions: Briefly enhancing defensive stats and crowd control resistance, these potions become more potent with higher levels and enchantments. They prove invaluable in various scenarios, ranging from minor skirmishes to expansive battles.

Sticky Potions: These throwable potions create a sticky tar on the ground, slowing enemies and reducing their damage for a duration of five seconds. Increased levels and enchantments heighten the potency of the slowing and weakening effects. These versatile potions can serve both offensive and defensive purposes across different content.

Poison Potions: Thrown directly at a player, these potions inflict true damage over a four-second period. The damage inflicted intensifies with each potion level. Particularly useful in small-scale PvP engagements, ganking, and PvE scenarios.

Invisibility Potions: Temporarily rendering the user invisible while reducing their damage output, these potions are only available at level 8. However, their duration can be extended through enchantments. Invisibility potions are commonly employed for surprise attacks or swift escapes from combat situations.

Calm Potions: Granting temporary invisibility to monsters, these potions prevent them from attacking the user for a short duration. Higher-level versions can be thrown, affecting multiple players and proving useful for resetting coordinated attacks in PvE content.

Cleanse Potions: Instantly removing all crowd control effects from the user, including stuns, immobilizations, silences, and debuffs (excluding temporary damage). Level 5 and 7 potions provide a brief period of immunity to crowd control effects. Effective in various situations where crowd control poses a threat.

Infernal Fire Potions: Thrown like projectiles, these potions create a fiery area on the ground, dealing damage to any creature within every half second for up to 3 seconds. The damage output increases with the potion's level and enchantment. They serve as an additional source of damage in both PvP and PvE scenarios.

Gathering Potions: Enhancing gathering and fishing speed, along with productivity in these activities, these potions offer prolonged effects in higher-level and enchanted versions. Ideal for boosting efficiency when collecting valuable enchanted resources.

Bottle Tornado: A throwable potion that generates a tornado at a specific location, forcefully pushing away all enemy players within its range. The tornado's duration varies based on the potion's level and enchantment, providing a strategic means to defend against melee attacks.

Acid Potions: Cast upon the ground, these potions reduce enemies' resistances for a duration of five seconds. The amount of resistance lost intensifies with higher potion levels and enchantments. Effective for amplifying damage inflicted on enemy targets.

Berserker Potions: Granting a powerful buff to the user, these potions increase damage output while reducing defense. The strength of both effects varies based on the potion's level and enchantment. Particularly effective in PvP scenarios where dealing substantial damage is the primary objective.
